Do you comply with the CRC regulation?
Starting from the 1st of April 2010 many companies have been affected by the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme. The CRC is the UK’s mandatory climate change and energy saving scheme, and organisations that exceeded 6000 megawatt-hours on half-hourly metres (HHM) during 2008 will be required to comply with the full regulation.

It is imperative that organisations start putting the right actions in place NOW to ensure CRC compliance. Companies that have achieved CEMARS certification are realising business benefits through the comprehensive management of how they measure and reduce their carbon footprint. Over 30 CEMARS certifications have now been awarded equating to 6.5 million tonnes of carbon duoxide equivalent being certified and verified through carbon audit under the carbonReduction programme.
